It’s a family event not to miss that gives you all the fall feels and more.
On Saturday, October 29th, the PumpkinFest festival will take place in downtown Franklin from 10 am – 6 pm; one of the most popular fall events in Franklin.
After the fun at the festival, we found some places that offer a sweet treat to take home.
1Kilwin’s
405 Main Street, Franklin
Window shopping goes to another level as you peer inside and see Kilwin’s making fudge. Step inside for a selection of chocolates and ice cream, and check out those caramel apples.
2Sweethaven
214 E Main Street, Franklin
This ice cream shop recently opened in the former Baskin Robbins location. Find a selection of rotating ice creams, including seasonal pumpkin spice and bourbon pecan pie. They also serve shakes and frozen yogurt. But if you are missing the happiest place on earth’s Dole Whip, they also have one.
